To all those who have waited patiently for this chapter I can only thank you and say that I simply couldn't get this chapter out, but hopefully this writer's block will end with this.

Reactions

Stargate Command, in more than a little shock

After just witnessing a display of power beyond anything that either the general or his front line team had yet seen Hammond could come up with only one response which came straight out of his military instinct, and that was "Hold it right there!"

Bakura, "Well pharaoh what do you intend to do now".

Yami, "What do I, you're the one who started this thief, why don't you come up with something."

Bakura, "I would but, I so want to see what the king of games will do in a situation that can't be solved with luck", the poison in the last word was unmistakable.

Yami, "Why you pathetic excuse for a..."

Malik, pointing out the increased number of MP's in the room now, "I hate to interrupt this lovely banter but, what are we going to do about the guns pointed at us. I could just wipe their minds, but I don't know if this has already gotten out of this room, so what would you to suggest."

Yami, "I hate to say this but, Malik's right we don't know how far this, event, has already spread, I suggest we let them take us, for now, what ever they know I'm sure they will be more up front with us if we are equally frank."

Bakura, "So you suggest we tell them the truth, I've never heard such an idiotic suggestion," twitch,"did the millennia rot your brain or something," twitch,"you foolish little excuse for a..."

Yami, who is still twitching, " No, I meant we tell them what they need to know and nothing more, I'll leave the gaps to you thief, or maybe Malik, after all he's proven to be a much better thief and liar than you'll ever be."

Malik, "Somehow I don't think that I like that implication."

Bakura was still grumbling while the airmen took them to their cell.

Briefing room SGC

Hammond, "Someone tell me what the hell just happened in there."

Sam, "It was probably a display of the abilities this power grants those kids, but I'm amazed they could use it in such a way I mean complexity that manipulating energy at such a delicate level would require is mind boggling, uh, sir."

Hammond, "Yes that's all well and good but it seems quite obvious that those children are a serious threat, they killed those jaffa like it was nothing."

Daniel, "I don't think so sir."

Jack, "It's not.'

Daniel, "No Jack, obviously they had these powers long before we got to them if they posed us any kind of threat they probably would have attacked us the moment they got here."

Hammond, "While that is a valid point Dr. Jackson, I can't risk the security of this base on your opinion alone, so they will remain contained until further notice."

Anubis' palace, Tuataras

Anubis' first prime, "My lord, I have the report from the attack on the Tauri."

Anubis, "And...".

"It has failed my lord, the attack went forward but something prevented the bomb from detonating, I had thought to report to you before arranging the punishments of those responsible."

Anubis raised his hand in dismissal, "No, it is of no consequence the attack was merely a test."

"A test my lord."

"I will tell you more when it is time, until then leave me."

"Yes, my lord."

Anubis, as he gazes out a window into the desolate land beyond, "And so begins my rise, to the one true god of all existence."

"A little conceited but, I couldn't have said it better myself."
